- So, today's video is going to be our daily routine.
On this particular day it's a Sunday
and our daily routine started at 6:15
but really it starts whenever one of the boys wakes up.
Sometimes it's Jackson, sometimes it's Fraser,
he's a very early riser,
so when they wake up,
I take them all into Fraser's room
and they'll normally play on their iPads for a bit,
they're watching Ben and Holly before we come downstairs.
And when we get downstairs,
I'll normally put Jackson onto the play mat like this
and then pour out a basket of toys.
He loves cars the most.
He really, really is into the wheels on them
and he also loves cruising along the couch.
Then I will normally start tidying up,
putting away the contents of the dishwasher
and then I'll start to make breakfast well.
Caleb finally joined us downstairs
at about quarter past seven
and then I'm going to have a coffee
and then I'll also get on and make breakfast.
Because it's the weekend,
we're going to have pancakes because that is a bit
of a special treat and Caleb really, really likes
to help me.
So, they way I make our protein pancakes
is by doing, I'm doing a double batch,
so I'm doing two bananas,
four eggs and then a big scoop of almond butter
and also a little bit of baking powder
and then you basically whiz it all up
in a Nutribullet and fry it like a pancake.
I serve the boys pancakes with strawberries
and maple syrup and Jackson
is having his favorite, a watermelon,
a little bit of protein pancake as well
and some orange as well
and then the boys sit and eat their breakfast.
We don't have any iPads at the table
but they are allows to bring as many toys as they want.
This is my protein pancake.
It looks a lit bit burned in this video
but after breakfast the boys are just gonna hang out
and play on the Wii U
and then they also end up going outside very early
because it is the summer.
So, they're literally out on the patio
as soon as they can get out there
and I spend most of my time breaking my back
and walking with Jackson like this
or he still loves his swing as well.
By 9 a.m. it's time for Jackson's nap.
He's really tired by now
because he has been awake for nearly three hours
and then I'll spend my time getting ready,
getting everyone else ready
and trying to tidy up as much as I can.
So, I'll quickly do my hair with my InStyler,
just a quick curl, I'll do my makeup
and the outfit I'm wearing today
is a dress from Mango
but I found it on ASOS
and then I'll just run around
and basically just make the beds.
Jackson normally sleeps for an hour
but today he only had half an hour
but his teeth are really hurting him,
so I'm just gonna finish the beds,
get the boys to choose their clothes for the day
and then daddy is going to do their hair.
He does their hair so much better than I do
and then at 10 a.m. every day
I offer the kids a snack and a drink.
Caleb just wanted to eat cheese
for his snack today,
so that is what they had
and then we just gonna set up our outdoor space
because Matt's dad has come over
for a coffee today
to see the boys and hang out with us.
He is over visiting from Spain at the moment.
So, yeah, it's just a good chance
for them to catch up with him.
We're having a bit of a lazy morning,
so the kids are just gonna play with their toys a bit more.
One thing we like to do is set up an obstacle course
in our garden, look at our thousands of toys.
Sometimes we'll set it all up
and then they can run around
and we will time them
and they'll try to beat each other.
We'll also try to get Fraser's homework done
on a Sunday.
He really loves to learn,
so it's quite easy to get him to do it
and he's currently learning all about time.
And then it's time for lunch.
We normally eat at about 11:30
because the boys just get so hungry,
so today we're having tuna cheese paninis,
that's an interesting way to eat it
but Jackson is having soft cheese sandwiches.
For pudding the boys are just having ice pops
and then at 12 o'clock I put Jackson down
for his second nap of the day
and then it's my turn to eat lunch.
I'm also having a tuna panini
like the boys did
and then while Jackson's napping,
it is a chance for Matt
to get a few jobs done
that he want to do,
so he is mowing the lawn,
he's also gonna do a tip run.
I'm gonna play with the boys in the garden,
we're gonna have some water play.
After water play, the boys will come inside,
so I put on their favorite movie, Sing,
and once Jackson is wake
it's time to get out.
I like to go out every day with the boys.
I find it keeps them in a really good mood
for them burn off loads of their energy.
I think it's the best tip that I can give mums
of boys or I don't know, girls as well perhaps
just to get outside
and run your kids around
but yeah, so this is us in Hylands Park in Chelmsford.
Once we're done in the park,
we are gonna make our way
to one of our favorite restaurants
for like a Sunday roast.
It is called the Fox and Goose
and yeah, it's just really family friendly
and we really like it there.
The kids seem to like the outdoor bit
and I always have the same thing.
I always have the fish cakes,
Matt always has the roast.
So, yeah, it's just nice to go out as a family and connect.
Then we're gonna make our way home
and it was all a bit too much for Caleb.
He fell asleep on the way home.
So, we're just gonna transfer him straight to bed
and only bath the two other ones,
Jackson and Fraser.
There's just no point in waking Caleb up
because he was so tired.
So, then we gonna have a few books
and Fraser's really good at reading to the little ones
now that he is very good at reading
and he also like to try and stand up holding the radiator
or a bed or anything he can
but then at about seven I'm going to put Jackson to bed,
a very tired Jackson by the looks of it.
He still sleeps in one of these bags.
So, yeah, while I put him down,
Matt is going to put Fraser down.
Right, so all the boys are in bed now,
so I'm now going to edit this vlog,
do Instagram post
and some work while I watch TV
but yeah, I hope you enjoyed this video.
That is just our average kind of Sunday.
I hope it was a little bit interesting
and I'll see you in my next one.
Bye guys.
